The 2 Bears prep debut album

Joe Goddard of Hot Chip and Raf Daddy will release their first LP in January.

The 2 Bears will release their first album in January, entitled Be Strong.

Made up of Hot Chip member Joe Goddard and Raf Daddy of Greco-Roman Soundsystem, The 2 Bears are frequent DJ partners with a handful of EPs under their belts, mostly on London's Southern Fried Records. The pair first met at a Greco-Roman party and started making records not long after, with Raf Daddy singing and both artists on production duties. Their sound is upbeat, eclectic and slightly tongue-in-cheek, grounded in house but flirting with dancehall, garage, pop or whatever else strikes their fancy. The new album features previously unreleased productions as well as selections from their past EPs. The next single, Work, will be out on December 12th.
